0.5mm Fiberglass Sleeve - Where?

Post by Tincho85 »

I need to buy at least 60 meters (200ft) of 0.5mm ID fiberglass sleeving, rated for more than 400ºc. But I can't find a supplier that ships to Argentina.
The one that E3D uses for their thermistors is great, but it's a bit expensive.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Google is failing me.

Thanks.

If you email E3D they will sell their material in bulk. I ordered a few meters. If course, if you are looking for 60m you should be able to find a supplier.

Yes, I use that a lot for finding Chinese stuff direct. Haven't found anything that jumps out at me other than the way oversized/overweight rails.

Thanks guys, but I've never bought from alibaba, everything seems to be for huge quantities.
Aliexpress yes, unfortunately the vendors there sell fiberglass sleeve of 1mm and above.

I did recently found a possible supplier:
http://www.omega.com/pptst/SH_DH_FS_OV.html
u$s0.25.- per meter + u$s20.- shipping
Decent deal to me! :D

Any feedback on that company?
